Our Services

Community Outreach

We partner with local organizations and community stakeholders to prevent violence before it happens by building trust in the neighborhoods we serve—including Providence, Pawtucket, Central Falls and Woonsocket-we offer mentorship to high-risk youth, mediate gang conflicts, and connect individuals with education and employment opportunities. Our consistent presence at schools and community events reflects our commitment to peacebuilding and nonviolence, helping to break cycles of retaliation and foster safer, more resilient communities.

Victim Services

We provide 24/7 support to individuals and families affected by violence, beginning with immediate hospital response and guidance to prevent retaliation. Our team offers compassionate advocacy, connecting victims to critical resources like counseling, relocation support, and financial assistance. As healing continues, we remain a lifelong source of care—offering emotional support, creative therapies, and community-centered events that honor both survivors and those they’ve lost.

We understand the difficulties of transitioning back to the community after incarceration. We work with our clients to give them the support they need.
